Compiere 3.0 Spotlight: Master Detail Forms in the Web UI

Welcome to the world of easier order entry! Compiere is bringing a friendlier face to ERP with the new Web architecture and UI in Compiere Professional Edition. The Web UI supports the new functionality and applications of Compiere 3.0 and presents them in an easy-to-navigate, clean, and user-friendly interface. One of these “friendly” features is support for master detail forms.

Using Compiere's Swing client, you drill down to the order line tab and view each order line of the record one by one. You make changes to each order line one by one, opening a new line record each time.

The new Compiere Web UI makes the job of order entry simpler. Using the Web UI in Compiere Professional Edition, you can now open up an order form and easily see all the line items listed on the main record page. You can also see the details of each order line, such as the total and quantity, directly from the main record page without having to drill into each line. This gives you the added benefit and ease of order entry with fewer clicks and better functionality.

Master detail forms are available for Sales Order window and numerous other Compiere windows. For more information about Compiere 3.0 please visit the Compiere Web site.
